NEW YORK, NY, JANUARY 9, 2018 – On Thursday, February 15, 2018, All Hands and Hearts – Smart Response will host the third annual Fight for Education at Cipriani Wall Street in New York City. Launched in 2015 with supermodel and philanthropist Petra Nemcova, the event brings together leaders from finance, fashion, sports, and entertainment to raise funds for communities impacted by natural disasters.

“We are thrilled to host the third annual Fight for Education gala during such an important time,”
said Petra Nemcova, Co-Founder and Vice Chair of All Hands and Hearts – Smart Response.
“The evening promises to be filled with exciting matches in the ring, and more importantly, the
event will bring together a community of individuals who are committed to giving back. All Hands
and Hearts is dedicated to helping communities rebuild after natural disasters, and with the
support of the Fight for Education, we can continue to increase our efforts and respond to those
most in need.”

The event is sponsored by Equinox and sanctioned by USA Boxing and the International Sport Karate Association (ISKA).

All Hands and Hearts – Smart Response was formed in 2017 by All Hands Volunteers and Happy Hearts Fund, two organizations that have provided relief to those who have been impacted by natural disasters for more than a decade. As a result of the merger, All Hands and Hearts has rebuilt nearly 200 schools and impacted over one million individuals to date. All Hands and Hearts currently has active programs in Texas, the Virgin Islands, Nepal, and Peru. They are beginning their work in Puerto Rico and expanding into Tortola shortly.
